Question

Hi Lybrate user
The answers to your questions lies in how severe and active is your disease right now. SLE can involve various organs and severity can range from mild to severe life threatening condition. You will have to be in a regular follow up with a Rheumatologist who will guide you how to monitor disease activity. It is always better to be frank with your future partner. Though fertility rates in SLE are normal, pregnancy issues can occur if your disease is uncontrolled and you have associated problems like antiphospholipid antibodies.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various organs of the body. Women with lupus are at higher risk for pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and premature delivery, and those with antiphospholipid antibodies have an increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirths.
